Coaching Skills Training for Managers, Team Leaders and Organisations
Effective managers do more than direct and supervise. They develop people, build confidence, improve communication and support performance through meaningful conversations. Coaching skills are now recognised as essential leadership skills within modern organisations, helping managers improve engagement, wellbeing, accountability and workplace performance.
The Coaching Skills for Managers Programme, ILM Recognised is a practical and interactive 2-day coaching skills training programme designed for managers, team leaders and professionals who want to develop coaching skills and adopt a coaching style of leadership and management.
